Stravinsky, Bartok, Ravel, Schoenberg, Berg, Prokofiev, Britten, Shostakovich, Lutoslawski, Schnittke, Nielsen, Dutilleux, MessiaenĪnd even that was only possible by creating a second category, Late Modern Beethoven, Brahms, Dvorak, Schumann, Schubert, Chopin, Mahler, Wagner, Bruckner, StraussĪnd then for Modernists I just found too many
There are many others I like but I am satisfied that these are my top 10: I guess I can manage 10 Romantics even though I just cannot think of Beethoven or Schubert as anything other than Romantic. JS Bach, Handel, Purcell, Monteverdi, Vivaldi, Buxtehude, Telemann, Zelenka, Biber, ScarlattiĪnd that is only because I don't really enjoy the French Baroque yet.īut for Classical composers, really, is there anyone really worthy of reverence aside from CPE Bach, Haydn and Mozart? Perhaps Cherubini? I could come up with 10 Baroque composers who I revere more than any of the others but only just: Binchois, Machaut, Byrd, Tallis, Dowland, Ockeghem, Palestrina, Taverner I am relatively new to exploring early music but some names stand out already for me This was more difficult than I was expecting.
